15 Inspirational Final Testimonies from General Conference October 2024

Spread the love

The 2024 October General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ended a few days ago. During the conference members and friends of the Church listen to gospel teachings and testimonies. Listeners often seek specific answers to questions, comfort, or guidance for the future. But perhaps the most central part of General Conference is the testimony of the Savior of All God’s Children, Jesus Christ. This article is a compilation of the wonderful final testimonies from General Conference October 2024. 

The prophet Joseph Smith said: “The fundamental principles of our religion are the testimony of the Apostles and Prophets, concerning Jesus Christ, that He died, was buried, and rose again the third day, and ascended into heaven; and all other things which pertain to our religion are only appendages to it.” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 121.)

During each conference, the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sustain the First Presidency and Twelve Apostles as “prophets, seers, and revelators.” Often the focus is on them being able to see into the future, prophesying future events. However, the book of Revelation says, “the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” (Revelation 19:10). Perhaps the most important part of General Conference is the testimony of the apostles, prophets, and other leaders that Jesus lives and has conquered death and sin for us.

This article summarizes the final testimony of each of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles talks. It is our hope that you will feel the power of these testimonies, grow in your faith in Jesus Christ, and find truth and comfort in Him.

I invite you to commit yourself more fully to the Savior, His gospel, and His Church.

It’ll shatter the rocks in your way, transform you into an inheritor in God’s kingdom. And you will be “filled with that joy which is unspeakable and full of glory.” In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

As followers of Christ, we teach and testify of Jesus Christ, our Perfect Role Model. So let us follow Him by forgoing contention. As we pursue our preferred policies in public actions, let us qualify for His blessings by using the language and methods of peacemakers. In our families and other personal relationships, let us avoid what is harsh and hateful. Let us seek to be holy, like our Savior, in whose holy name I testify and invoke His blessing to help us be Saints. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Burying Our Weapons of Rebellion By Elder D. Todd Christofferson

lds testimony, lds general conference quotes, testimonies from general conference, lds quotes

Burying our weapons of rebellion leads to a unique joy. With all who have ever become converted to the Lord, we are “brought to sing [the song of] redeeming love.” Our Heavenly Father and His Son, our Redeemer, have confirmed Their unending commitment to our ultimate happiness through the most profound love and sacrifice. We experience Their love daily. Surely we can reciprocate with our own love and loyalty. May we bury—very, very deep—any element of rebellion against God in our lives and replace it with a willing heart and a willing mind. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Ammon in the Book of Mormon expresses the feelings of my heart when he says:

“Now have we not reason to rejoice? Yea, I say unto you, there never were [a people] that had so great reason to rejoice as we, since the world began; yea, and my joy is carried away, even unto boasting in my God; for he has all power, all wisdom, and all understanding; he comprehendeth all things, and he is a merciful Being, even unto salvation, to those who will repent and believe on his name.

“Now if this is boasting, even so will I boast; for this is my life and my light, … my joy, and my great thanksgiving.”

Welcome to the church of joy! In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Brothers and sisters, I testify that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the vehicle God has provided for our exaltation. The gospel it teaches is true, and the priesthood legitimizing it is not derivative. I testify that Russell M. Nelson is a prophet of our God, as His predecessors were and as His successors will be. And one day that prophetic guidance will lead a generation to see our Messenger of Salvation descend like “lightning … out of the east,” and we will exclaim, “Jesus of Nazareth.” With arms forever outstretched and love unfeigned, He will reply, “I am he.” I so promise with the apostolic power and authority of His holy name, even Jesus Christ, amen.

As we do so, the Lord will bless us with experiences never to be forgotten.

I testify that those who approach the Lord with a sincere heart and real intent, those who have the name of the Savior upon their lips and the Holy Spirit in their souls, those who embark upon this grand and glorious pilgrimage will discover and experience bounteous celestial blessings and receive a witness that God hears you, knows you, and loves you. You will experience days never to be forgotten. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

My dear brothers and sisters, my dear friends, there’s a part of me that misses the old Zwickau chapel and its stained-glass windows.

He has comforted me in my afflictions, helped me to recognize my weaknesses, healed my spiritual wounds, and nourished me in my growing faith.

It is my sincere prayer and blessing that we will constantly nourish the roots of our faith in the Savior, in His doctrine, and in His Church. Of this I testify in the sacred name of our Savior, our Redeemer, our Master—in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
